they need to be more precise... Question #4 1/3-2/3 for normal lenses, macro is 1/2-1/2. Adding a filter...What kind of filter...I know it doesn't change the answer but it would have trick even more people.
80% B-
I got 75% (C), and I teach photography :) lol
i think that the guys of fstoppers should post their scores jajaja ;)
70 % . first part perfect. second educated guess. I call that "Not bad"
60% it is a shame, i though that i was more instructed on this, but with out the camera in my hand i could not measure the DoF in some cases, and also mix the hyper with the super focal, need to go back to basics
70%% yeah!
F :(
40% but thats ok.....Never shot video before
Fail!!! Hehe... Sorry but test it´s useless...
I got 80%... I just guesstimated, I didn't get the calculator out...
70% (C-), how am I supposed to know how big the sensor in any of those camera's is (without looking it up)? The resolution obviously doesn't matter. Oh and inches confuse me too...
Same as most I killed the first section and ate it on the second. )-:
